Oh Goodness, that's pretty! But I have a question for you. My Minnie Pearl is really peach colored, is that light cream the correct color I am seeing on yours? Do later ones getter darker?

I love the color, size, bud count on Minnie Pearl!
Jane, I've had Minnie for a number of years and it's always been peach colored.

That is so cute! Is it a little one? Thanks for sharing!!

Yes Lucy, it's a little one. Mine isn't blooming yet. (Thanks OED! ) I'm thinking it doesn't like being crowded by the garden phlox and the monarda.

Per Tinker's Database:

Mini Pearl - Height 16", Bloom Diameter 3"

I think that's the spelling that was on mine too LG

Minnie Pearl. I'll have to check, but pretty certain. Mine is much more peach colored too. One of my favs

Now that you all mention it... I think it was more peach colored last year. It seems all the bloms are a much lighter shade this season.

I will get a few more photos when I get back this afternoon.... I am off to get a puppy!

BTW - the nursery tag on mine definitely says "Minnie Pearl".... I wonder if my nursery man made a mistake when doing the tags?
